Habitatge C13.2, designed by FFWD Arquitectes, is a total restructuring of the functional program of the house in the Badalona historical center. With this opearation we allowed light to enter generously in that area, while the outdoor space could be incorporated for it daily use as a part of the house. An open concept perception of the house is the goal, in spite of there is the option to use it as a conventional layout with closed rooms if wanted.

Udaan, designed by Studio AVT Architects Pvt Ltd, is a space for creative thinking, a source of inspiration, and a starting point for developing a sense of awareness and responsibility. The front facade greets you with bold, exposed bricks- a natural effect and blends with the vegetation around. The concrete texture finish on a few surfaces readily complements the bricks and gives a warm, vernacular feeling. The corridors also make learning fun and interactive, with part blackboard walls- to doodle, draw or write.

POP-UP House, designed by FIGR Architecture Studio, attempts to counter the status quo of a new family home in a predominantly heritage setting. A common approach with new homes is to occupy most of the site whilst retaining a minimal front setback with a fortified sheer built form that shuts itself off from the public realm interface. Flanked by existing neighbouring brick walls, that become internal edges which establish a dialogue between old and new.

Vibhavadi Office, designed by Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated, is a commercial office in a revived 60-year-old, four-story building. The overall building bears the traces of an old modern-style building with a particular architectural language expressed through a combination of raw concrete and skim-coated concrete in the structure. This renovation project is expressed through the use of materials available in the market to “keep” and to “add” to the existing building structure.

Barwon Heads House, designed by Adam Kane Architects, transforms a run-down weatherboard cottage into a contemporary home through the careful use of textural tones and deep understanding of the sense of space. Textural, natural materials were critical to the home’s setting, as well as allowing a relaxed feeling of durability for the owners. The home’s play with light and dark, solid and void, and materiality, creates a unique experience for guests and occupants to enjoy for years to come.

Kurien Philip Residence, designed by Wallmakers, is inspired to create a ‘Vault’ which was an umbrella to protect the shelter from the indomitable tropical sun. Thus the long catenary vault blocking the South-West sun made from more than 9000 CSEB bricks. Chain study method helps to stabilize the right shape of the arch before the execution begins. The structural study was first formulated by Antonio Gaudi in some of his structures. Which engineers posthumously found out. The same technique is employed to achieve stability in the Arches.

The Mango House, designed by Studio PKA, responds to its surroundings and consciously tries reconnecting with the natural environment. The raindrops trailing down windows, the dappled reflections of sunlight bouncing off panes, and the gentle breeze running through the spaces – all pleasantly add to the experience and quality of the space. The use of stark, raw and earthy materials entices the user and beckons them to engage with the house – through the myriad sights, sounds and textures that coalesce to form memories. A feeling of home.

Plate, designed by Takuyahosokai, acts as a small museum consisting of a market, a restaurant, and an event space hosting exhibitions and concerts for the community. Gently sloping terrain and naturally dispersed trees, dappled sunlight and rustling leaves provide visitors with a comforting and dreamlike backdrop. The building is orientated to appear as if it is submerged in the forest, in order to help visitors detach from their everyday lives and experience the forest from the inside.
